    Default Owl Quilt Ready for Camping!

    I finally got it finished for our granddaughter! It was fun trying something new - the glitterflex ultra is something I'll use again, hopefully for lettering etc. on t-shirts for her. It would look cute on a bib, too! Oh, no! I'm getting too many ideas now! I've attached close-ups of the glitterflex plus two pics of the finished quilts. It's about 40" x 40."
    Thanks so much for looking!

    it's adorable, but what is glitterflx. it came out cute. I see that the owls are all glittery, does it remain soft?

    Glitterflex is a glittery fabric that I bought from Sew Inspired. Bonnie has a video on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jAGJpWlkJw4
    When you pull off the clear carrier sheet on the top of the glittery sheet, it becomes very soft like regular fabric. It is a little bit "rough" but I didn't have a single sparkle on my hands, work table etc. It seems to be very durable and washes & dries well.

    That is about as cute as it can be. It looks like a lot of work, and your work is SUPER. You will be the Grandmother of the year. Thanks for sharing. BrendaK
